About Carrillo’s Collision Center

Every family has a story . . . welcome to ours. Our journey began in 1981 when Mr. Carrillo and his wife, Maria Carrillo, poured their hearts into opening a small body shop. As their three sons grew up, they became an integral part of the business from a very young age.

The boys learned much more than just the technical skills of the trade—from washing cars to ordering parts to estimating jobs. Most importantly, Mom Maria instilled in them an uncompromising commitment to quality and treating every customer like family. They were taught that honesty, caring for people, and giving their best were the cornerstones of serving their community.

2009: Carrillo & Sons is Born

In 2009, Maria and her sons embarked on a new chapter, and Carrillo & Sons was born.

Maria wanted the family legacy to continue beyond herself. Sons Tony, David, and Daniel Carrillo played major roles in building Carrillo & Sons Collision Center.

Maria Carrillo’s vision continues as a testament to strength and passion. As a woman-owned business, we embrace diversity and lead by example in the automotive repair industry.

A Note from Maria Carrillo . . .

My heart is filled with joy as I look back on the history that has brought us to where we are today. We, as a family, have weathered many challenges in our industry; yet, I truly believe that it is our values that have set us apart as a family that truly gives you, our customers, the best that we can be.
